“This particular image is a screen shot from a GoPro Hero4 HD video clip,” says pro photographer and surfer Patrick "Tupat" Eichstaedt. “When David caught this red I wanted to try and capture this moment, but I knew it would be difficult without shooting it in video mode. Fishing was insane. I myself caught 8 different species of fish and David caught his fair share as well. This image is a very unique perspective and SUP fishing is the way to go for getting as close to the catch as possible.” @therealtupat " class="thickbox no_icon" rel="set_6">
